The Military Strength of European
RnNrnrn-


OF the remarkable series of articles upon
the military condition and resources of the
various European powers, first printed an
onymously in the Fortnightly Review, and
since reprinted in a volume, with their au-
thorship by Sir Charles Dixie avowed on the
title page, not the least interesting was that
which related to the strength of Russia In
spite of her enormous debt, the writer in
sists that Russia is growing in power, and
that her power, great in itself, gains by be-
ing surrounded by the terrors that encom-
pass the unknown. She has by far the
largest army in the world, and, with a com
plete mobilization of her forces, has upon
paper force at once of four and ultimate
ly six millions of men. Her artillery has
as many guns as that of Germany or of
France and her cavalry is perhaps more
numerous than that of France and Germa-
ny combined-certainly more numerous
than that of Germany and Austria. With
her magnificent natural position and her
unrivalled chain of fortresses on the Ger
man frontieR Russia can always wear out
German patience; and, even though it he
true, as Count Moltke says, that 200, 900
men upon the Vistula, together with the
German fortresses, could prevent RUSSIA
from invading Germany, even in that case
there would he 100000 men withdrawn
from the French frontier, in face of a French
army more numerous than the German,
and they would not suffice to prevent Rus
STA from crushing Austria or holding Aus
tria III check. 1t is now too late, the writ
er holds, for Germany to strike her possible
enemies one at time, For her to attack
either France or Russia now would be mad
ness, if not suicide, and she will continue
her declarations of friendliness toward Rus
STA, although with perfect readiness to see
coalitions formed against the northern DOW
er. If Russia is to be kept out of the Mace
DOMAIN plain, Austria, with or without ALI
ance, must bar her advance. Austria.
however, is not strong enough. As the
Austrians and Russians have not been tried
against each other, there is no test of the
matter Of quality. Putting quality on one
side, the Russian army ought to be equal to
the Austrian and German combined. The
Russian peace army, including the Cossacks,
Is $1,000 men, which exceeds the combined
peace armies of Austria and Germany. The
total force of trained men which ought to
be rapidly modified by Russia is about A.
100000 as against 10000 600 for Germany
and $50, 600 for Austria. These estimates
leave out of account questions of equip
ment, transport, commissary and material
resources, but they suffice to show that any
general war which might be brought on by
RUSSIAN aggressions would be struggle of
giants.

Does Labor Produce all the Worlds
WEALTH.

Rev. DIR. G. NJ. Steele, in "Work and
Wages, asks and answers this question as
follows;
Is it really true that 'labor produces all
the wealth of the world"i OF course by
labor here is meant the putting forth of
physical energy, otherwise the succeeding
sentences have no meaning Does any one
who thinks at all about the subject believe
that the great factories, the docks, the vast
buildings of stone and brick and iron in our
great cities, the railroads, the mighty steam
ships, the complicated machines and innu-
merable other structures, are the result of
manual labor alone Suppose there is line
of railway 90 miles in length to be built,
and five thousand steady, intelligent and
reliable laborers are told to 90 and build it.
Will they be able to build the bridges. to
make the deep cuts, to construct the cause
ways through treacherous swamps, to cal
culate the grades, and do other equally diff
fcult parts of the work How many ordi-
nary wage laborers would it take 30 pro-
duce Corliss engine. the first of its kind I
Mo- there must be much besides muscular
effort i'll order TO attain these results. There
must be toll of brain, long and protracted
and often exhausting thought, sometimes
accompanied by great sacrifices and great
hurusllps' Ill oruer TO extensive prOduc-
ton there are required great mental quail
ties, some of them of rare kind There
is needed power to contrive, to invent, to
| organize, to direct, or little can be achiev-
ed. The man who blows the organ might
claim that he produces all the music of the
instrument. 1t is true he is generally an
essential condition, but not by any means
the only or the most essential condition
No more is manual labor the only or the
most essential condition of the production
of great wealth.

NOVEL APPLICATION OF ELECTRICITY
The covered street at Milan, now well
known as the Victor Emanuel gallery, is
rooted with glass and completed by large
dome, round the interior of which runs a
chain of gas lamps, The lighting of these
lamps at a considerable elevation used to
present some difficulties, and was always a
source of risk, until an arrangement was
made for doing the work by electricity. A
miniature railway has been constructed
close to the gas burners, ON which runs a
little electric locomotive carrying a wick
stepped in spirits of wine. When it is de-
sired to light the burners the wick is set ON
fire and the locomotive started ON its ca
reer, 1t flies round the dome, rapidly
kindling the lights, and exciting much in

lis RoMANrsM ovnRwHELnrNe Us

rs RoMANIsM OVERWHELMING Us I" is a
query answered in decidedly negative
way by Rev. Dr. Charles S. Pomeroy. n
Presbyterian Of Cleveland, o. He has
been looking up the subject carefully and
publishing the results in church magazine
During the last ten years, the increase of
Romanism has not been what it was for
merly. Though the vast proportion of our
immigration has been Roman Catholic. and
this element with its descendants NAV in
clude nearly half our entire population,
the latest statistics give less than seven
millions OF Roman Catholics, including men,
women and children. II they had merely
held their own, says DR.. Pomeroy, they
would have numbered 22 millions today,
instead of less than seven. DR.. Pomeroy
makes very encouraging comparison by
giving clerical statistics as follows From
1880 to 1880 Romish priests increased 800 /:
but meanwhile Presbyterian ordained min
isters increased 1856, Baptists II 1923, and
Methodists 10, 430, to say nothing of the
large growth in other denominations. The
aggregate increase was A, 3l5 evangelical
ministers, to match about 5000 priests.
Then estimating tie evangelical population
by adding only two for each enrolled com
municant, it has grown within the past 10
years alone more than six times as fast es
the Romish population, and the proportion
seems TO be rising every year.

for six months. Fourteen people were in

The Democrats and the surplus.


There will be Democratic majority in
the next House of Representatives, az there
was in the last, and as the reduction of the
national surplus will undoubtedly be the
leading question upon the assembling of
Congress, it may be instructive to note the
views of the leading Democratic Congress
men on this question. The St. Louis Re
publican has secured interviews with near
ly all the prominent Democratic represen-
tatives to the next Congress on the subject
of tariff reduction, and presents them in
very readable shape. The two familiar
wings-the Randall and Carlisle-still stand
opposed to each other. The Carlisle wing
is the most numerous, and its doctrine is
immediate and radical reduction Of the
tariff. The Randall party is for blocking
the wheels of such tariff legislation it il
the party of obstruction. The Randall par
ty holds the balance of power, and there
fore it may be assumed that unless some
change in the relative aspect of these wings
takes place-unless some compromise can
be arranged between them-tarilT legisla-
session of the next Congress- Congress
man Randall is not, however, an out and
out opponent of all tariff legislation. He
believes that something should be done to
tighten taxation. But he thinks that all
the necessary legislation could be effected
by a fair and just revision of the present
tariff. He favors abolishing the internal
revenue system, but does not believe that
an equal cut in internal and tariff taxes
will do. Mr. Randall does not believe in
free trade, and does not think that the ad-
vocates of that policy, if brought to the
point, would dare to carry it out. II the
coincidence of sentiment, so far as it goes,
between the Randall and Carlisle wings
can be made available to effect compromise,
something definite in the way Of tariff re-
duction may be expected from the next
Congress. Otherwise it looks as though
the Randall party might block the wheels
of every attempt in this direction.

Last Tuesday morning fellow about %
years Of age who had been about town two
or three days peddling curtains and robes,
applied to John Ray for a team to 20 To
Williamsville and return the same day. He
gave his name as Charles Day, and was
given 5000 horse, with top buggy and
necessary appurtenances, with which he
left about 10 o'clock. 1t rained that even
ing, and consequently the fact that the
team was not returned as promised caused
no uneasiness. But "Wednesday morning
came and no team and Mr.. Ray des-
patched one of his employees, Thomas Brown,
to Wiliamsville to make investigation
Finding that the fellow had gone on Dover
ward, Brown was instructed by telephone
to follow on, and the line to Wilmington
being temporarily out of fix, Ray dispatch
ed j. A. Nallen to that place to inform
Sheriff Kidder and get him ON track of the
thief. Brown got track of the rascal at
Dover, where he had entered the house of
IA Mr.. Adams and stolen some valuables, in
GLIDING about 81 in money. Brown traced
him to Wilmington, where WalleD had al
ready arrived. Here the latter. accom-
panied 10y Sheriff Kidder took fresh team
and drove ON toward Bennington, striking
the trall on the fugitive at WOodfOrd, where
he had put up over night with a Mr. John
son. They followed the trail TO Benning-
ton and ON into New York, where, between
! and . o'clock Thursday morning they
found and captured him at house where
he had put up for the night The stolen
property was also found intact. the horse
being uninjured. The place of capture was
in the town Of White Creek, II miles dis
tant from Bennington, in the direction of
Cambridge, The captive offered no resist
ance, and he was brought back 10 Whining
ton, where an examination was held before
Justice Davenport, and an order was is
sued for his commitment to Newfane Jail To
await trial, to which place he was at once
taken in charge of deputy The stolen
team is expected to arrive today in charge
of Brown, Wallen having returned with
the other two teams last evening.
The thicfs real name is said to be VIM.

family in Dover from whom he stole the
money and other valuables.

An interesting decision has just been filed
by Judge Walker of the supreme court of
this state, in the case of Joseph Brown rs.
VIM. II. Dubois, which was heard at the
May term in Washington county. Brown
was private in Company A, 10th Vermont
Volunteers, and by the terms of his enlist
ment had agreed to accept such bounty,
pay, rations and clothing as were or might
be established by law. At that time Yer
mont was paying 81 month extra to such
soldiers. After serving from September /,
1862, to April 21, 1864, and drawing pay as
provided, he voluntarily transferred him
self to the navy under the provisions of an
act of Congress for that purpose. He serv-
ed until May p, 1868, and was then hon
orably discharged. His state pay of 81 a
month ceased while he was in the navy, but
he felt himself entitled to it, and finally
brought a petition for mandamus to have
the state treasurer directed to pay it to
him. Gov. Ormsbee caused the suit to be
defended, and the result is that the claim
is disallowed and the petition dismissed.

this could safely be done and how it could
not be done without peril to American in
